She seems like such a genuine person and this whole convo was so transparent and awesome. Thank You.
I might want to become a physical therapist in the future, but for now I'm working on becoming a physical therapist assistant. I already have an interview for a physical therapy assistant program later this month!
I'm in the same boat a little late but trying to get started if I can afford it anyway
Hey Erik, how is PTA coming along for you?
I literally just started 8th grade and this is where I find myself on a school night at 1:23 am. I’m just thinking about what I wanna be when I’m older
@‘95 damm u might be dealing with a lot of addictions ^ sucks for you mate a healthy lifestyle and responsible brings a bright look to your life, I truly feel sorry for u If you went throughout all of that...
@‘95 I just hope u don't have any children, because their life will be horrible (based on your experiences)
Do I see namjoon in your pfp 😂
Go to sleep kid!
Not sure where she works but median salary for a PT is around $85,000. Average starting pay is around $65-70,000
I agree, I'm a PT and even new graduates make way more than she quoted
You can make $90,000 a year testing web software...most RNs make more than a physical therapist, even with a DPT.
@@MrFuggleGuggle I work for a Skilled Nursing Facility and make over 100,000 yearly
@@joez3706 in what state do you work?
@@MrFuggleGuggle with what companies?
incredibly insightful, thank you taylor and khan academy
I feel like physical therapist are underpaid. Physical therapist should earn at least 150K minimum.
Why?
AllAmericanGuy01 because its a licensed position that requires a PH.D these days 🤷♂️
I do agree that DPTs are underpaid. I don’t believe that 150k should be the minimum but if you look at other health professions that require a doctorate like pharmacists, dentist, etc. they are head and shoulders above PTs in salary. So I think the average salary should at be 100k regardless of location especially for the amount of schooling you do and the student debt you’re likely to accumulate
They should but not even close. Pay is decreasing, time for patients decreasing and productivity requirements are rising.
I'm a mental health therapist, we should get paid over 100,000.00 a year
Great video, I feel like I understand the job a little better
This is what I want to do no matter the money just want to help people
In my country it's a five year degree and one year training we also get to open our own clinics and be official doctors it's mainly all about the study it's self
she looks like Pam Beesly but with long blonde hair lol, but thank you for this informative video! :)
I injured my low back causing a l5 s1 to hit my nerves; however, I got healed thanks to physical therapist and chiropractors. I was amazed how physical therapists help people get back to their normal lives. I want to pursue a career in that field but I don’t know how? Do I have to attend a 4 year college or are there specific schools??
4 years in college (a major in science is recommended) & 3 years of graduate school.
I'm graduating in May and also chasing my PT dream. I have been told It's 7 years in total. 4 years in college either 2 in community and 2 university or 4 in university. After that you go to PT school for 3 years. I wish you luck on your PT dream 😊😊
* KpopLovelys * how challenging is it?
I’m interested in PT, I would like to work in stroke rehab
In Philippines only around $3000 :) there are less than 800 board passers. PTs here need supervising doctors. I'm not sure if DPT is common but i dont think so. A number of graduates go abroad to work because if this horrible working situation.
In Australia it's a 4 year degree and if you have a degree already in a relevant health related degree then you can do a 2 year Master.
Hi,i would ask about the difference between a PT and a kinesiology
Here on the east coast DPTs make 80k I think she might be in the Midwest or something
made it out the hood
I work as personal trainer i made over 75k year. I was thinking to go to school for pt but 7 years school and to make same as am making now, not sure if it worth it
I love being pt because its satisfying job,especially in stroke rehabilition..but i hate being pt too because other people call us nurse, do massage..hmmm
#Khan Academy Mean..??
In NY PT’s make between $80k and up.
Depends on your state
SupremeMystique that’s why it depends on the State. Trust me being a native NY cost of living is very high and has not plans on decreasing
@@zhanazhana1001 is that 80k for a pt straight out of school?
Julian Riezgo average is 66k-67k I believe for NY. But it depends on location, where you wish to be placed etc
I know she’s a new grad but I hope she ends up making a lot more. I’m a PTA and I made 79,000$ last year
Francestnlv how is PTA going for you so far?
Francestnlv no way an assistant makes that much
lethalpenguin61 sorry, it’s true. I’ve been a PTA for 11 years tho so it adds up. Plus Las Vegas pays the most for physical therapy
just asking this out of curiosity so please dont judge....in india the PT usually uses "Dr." prefix.... was just curious whether it is same in other countries
No. You have to further your studies and get PhD. Then you can use that title
@@tshepisomaseko1136 thank you
In Bulgaria Eu they pay you 3-4000$ salary for a year -.-
Chavdar Brezoev yikes

I would love to be on that path on becoming a physical therapist. I’m a sophomore in high school, I have a lot of time before I can get a job like this. But I’m also transgender and pretty public and open about it. I don’t know any trans people with that kind of job. I hope they don’t discriminate over people like me and base me off my job experiences, college degrees, personality, more of the positive side of me.
Wellcome my chanel!!!! Tks so much
What in tarnation?? Base start pay here is 90
what state is here
Based on cost of living
sending regards from Croatia where we make $10 000 per year
Hi madam this is dayakar I have 9years experience bpt any vacancies is there plz message me thanking you madam..
26?!?
7 years for a DPT is not worth that low starting salary, even later on you still will not make doctor MD money, regardless you have a doctorate. Put 1 more year in and go to medical school for all that time. Doctors make triple the amount a PT makes.
MD= medical doctor
You just said " you won't make doctor medical doctor money"
@@DrNickDPT He was clearly clarifying he is referring to MD by adding that bit in, as DPT is also considered a doctor.
@@asharedo Go ahead and re-read what I said. You've missed an important detail.
In Germany PTs make like 25k.... a year
Isnt the length and amount of schooling a lot less too though?
That's crazy low! I know road patrol officers making a minimum of 90k a year. Sgts and up are making 100k at minimum. She should find another employer or move to another state.
I think her pay is low because she doesn't have experience, she's 26 with a PhD. I think immediately after her degree she did her masters then PhD she didn't work.
She doesn’t have a PhD. It’s a DPT. You only need a bachelors to get into DPT school.
Why do her vocals have reverb at like 18k+ HZ
the fact that you know this lol
it's probably the recording equipment. they probably forgot to cut from 16khz and above
She's wrong about pay ppl are getting out of school making 80k easily.
...easily and it's up from there
it all depends on where you live/practice. In my area PT's are starting at 58-65k, depending on demand.
@@kevinkress4073 that's terrible, I made that when I graduated with my first job back in the 90s
@@joez3706 I know.....we are among the lowest in the northeast. This is the lowest starting I've seen.....some are in the 80k range in a few years, depends on setting
@@kevinkress4073 average is 62 at larger practices the 80k jobs will be mills
She is cute asf
26 yrs old!!!!??
That's really low income
Not really, jobs in security or banks or hospitality are between 20k a year and 45k a year; physical therapists come 2nd on UK's highest paid jobs, not sure about USA though
I think she also mentioned she works in Colorado. Which is at rank 45, being almost the lowest paid state for physical therapist.
55-70,000/ yr is terrible. I am a PT and make over 100,000. I started 25 years ago making 60,000
@@rakadoni8403 She has a doctorate, though. She's invested years into her education, and earning five figures, especially mid five figures, is pretty terrible.
That’s why you never enter a DPT program that charges more than $20,000 a year for a 3 year program...
75k for a 8 year degree fuck tagt
I thought they made a lot more ?
Jordan Andre, they do. I do not know where she works but 70k is very little $ for a PT
Jordan Andre she’s in her first year that’s why. They start you out at around 65-70k. The medium salary is 85k. Highest being around 100k. The more years of experience you have the more you’ll make.
@@overtherainbow3440 I make 120,000 and I do not have my own business.
@@joez3706 Which region of the US are you working in?
@@harhote770 I work in a SKilled Nursing Facility in California. I make a little more than most but most experienced PT's I know here make in the low $50/hr range.
Bruh how’s she getting paid that little what the
pathetic money for a doctorate degree. many associate degrees can make that kind of money, some even makes more
for example?
Adrian Zamudio nursing
She didn’t say how much she makes 😤
